360 versions of games usually have a steadier framerate, PC versions tend to vary wildly. I'd rather have steady 30fps than jumpy 40-50-40-30-60 fps.
I was trying to play Global Agenda (Steam) the other night.
Very jumpy.
Also the controls don't feel good on PC, even with a controller, I'm not sure why, could be aspect ratios or something.
And finally opitmization is in play.
"Medium" on a 360 looks alot better than "Medium" on a PC, pound for pound the 360 punches above its weight.
The social experience is worlds better on Xbox Live than Steam.
And finally, you get an actual physical product without worrying that Steam will go out of business someday and take your games with it. 10 years from now I will still be able to play my games, 10 years from now Steam will be gone and all your purchases will be down the toilet.
Everything about PC gaming is overrated, overhyped.
Almost everybody I know on Xbox Live is or was a PC gamer at some point.
They got tired of having to remember 12 different passwords and deal with keys and various annoying DRM.
PC gaming did not die from piracy.
PC gaming died from PC game developers who are clueless, shortsighted and greedy, killed off their own industry and now only hope of success is they produce a game good enough to be accepted by console companies to make some money.
TW2 devs did it.
Stalker devs tried to do it (but went bankrupt before they could find a publisher.)
All you have left "exclusive" on PC are garbage games like MMO's, and a few RTS games and sims.
The industry as a whole on PC is borked and have their heads shoved so far up their asses, they make Volition devs sound enlightened.
Their last grasp is free to play games on Facebook where they hoodwink little old ladies into buying funny money to play Farmville. That's the sum total of "innovation" going on in PC gaming today.
I say this all not with happyness or glee.
I am not happy about it.
It is simply the way I see the industry as a whole, where it was in the 80's and 90's, compared to where it is today.
We all know what you hermits are trying to do, you're trying to use Gamespot to rally support to save PC gaming, but you don't understand there are economic forces far more powerful than us at work.
If I had my way PC gaming would be back in the 90's, physical media, no DRM, no "exclusives" no MMO's no F2P's.
